It is with heavy hearts that we recognize the loss of a firefighter who gave their life in the line of duty.

Today we stand with their family, friends, and fellow firefighters as they go through this heartbreaking loss. Their courage, dedication, and willingness to help others will never be forgotten.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Rest easy.

On behalf of the members of Marion Bridge Volunteer Fire, I would like to formally recognize three of our firefighters for their professionalism, dedication, and exceptional response during a recent medical emergency.

Working alongside our Emergency Health Services partners and fellow first responders, these members demonstrated the highest standards of service, teamwork, and commitment to public safety. Their calm actions, rapid response, and continued support played an important role in a successful outcome for the patient involved.

We are extremely proud of the professionalism displayed by:

• Michael Boone
• Bailey Dempsey
• Pam Steele

Their actions are a reflection of the values and dedication carried by all members of our department. We also extend our appreciation to the EMS personnel, dispatchers, and everyone involved in the chain of survival during this incident.

On National First Responders Day...to the firefighters, paramedics, police officers, dispatchers, and all emergency personnel who miss dinners, birthdays, and probably a few good naps so the rest of us can sleep a little easier….thank you for everything you give…and everything you quietly leave behind to do it. ❤️
